Dark Angel: Notes on Anxiety and Depression
This appears to be a mix between an autobiography and a help book.
From review."The author shares his journey in a very intimate way, and as a result, the book is much more readable than a textbook on depression written from a clinical perspective." From description: “Stress, anxiety and depression. Dealing with symptoms is of little help; we need to address the cause. From childhood trauma and teenage anxiety, to midlife depression and isolation, Dark Angel is a field guide a through the swamp.”

Education (Self, Home, School)

Schooled
How the system breaks teachers. Many excellent reviews. “Immediately after graduating from college in 2006, Dalton Jackson took a job as a high school Biology teacher in Cramer county, located in the rural southern United States. Over the course of the next two years, he shared his students' triumphs, tragedies, joys, and frustrations. He got a behind the scenes look into how school systems and teachers function as well as how they break. He faced threats of violence and potential lawsuits. As the pressure built and the runaway train of his brief teaching career began to derail, Dalton came to understand why the education system can't seem to recruit new teachers and why many of the teachers in the existing system aren't doing their jobs.”

It's Called a Trout Stamp Not a Food Stamp
“Shannon Olson is fascinated with the outdoors and has a passion for exploring God’s country. His stories can touch your heart, make you gasp and definitely wet your pants. He divulges about his supper eyeballing him, parking his four-wheeler in a tree, pays respect to his old bird dog and even makes breaking bones a comical event. He has a unique way of ending up in near disaster situations and somehow always gets up laughing.“

Ramblings of the Man Who Killed 1000 Ducks and 20 Friendships
Same author. “Shannon Olson continues to make his readers laugh and gasp with his new stories. This book will take you on some outdoor adventures but also introduces the law enforcement side of Shannon. You will hear some nasty talk from turkeys, a tale of electrical karma, a little graveyard fun and how ladybugs helped create the fly fishing dream of I’ve Got Bugs. Sit back and enjoy the ramblings of a man that has many dreams, one of which is to make his readers laugh and reminisce in their own childhood.”

Eighteen Months To Live

The Devil in the Deep: The Untold Story of the U.S. Navy Response to 9/11.

Memories of World War II
”true stories of life on the home front interwoven with what was happening on the war front. Gasoline, sugar, coffee and shoes were rationed along with over 200 types of food. Automobiles, washing machines, refrigerators, irons, sheets and many other items were not produced until after the war. People gladly accepted rationing and shortages that helped the war effort. Most families had a loved one serving in the military, so they did everything they could to bring an end to the war. There are stories of boys in the air force and the navy, but the book follows the Texas 36th Division throughout the war in Europe.”
Checked for historical accuracy by the Texas 36th Division historian.

Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening
Many high reviews. “Have we made things right with our Vietnam Veterans? It's been almost one-half century since American involvement in this unpopular war, but after reading Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening, readers understand why author S.D.Sawyer has written this novel and asked this question.

From Ashes to Honor: Book #1 in the First Responders series
”Minutes before two jumbo jets changed U.S. history, New York police officer Austin Finley ignored the call from his brother, who’d been bugging him for days. Trying to live with his one regret causes hatred and bitterness to consume Austin, and when counselor Mercy Samara recommends desk duty, Austin resigns. Haunted by her own memories of 9/11, Mercy takes a job as a school counselor in Baltimore. When Austin, now an EMT, responds to an emergency at Mercy’s school, both are stunned and wary.

Their determination leads to an aborted escape attempt, and the cult leader sends the girls to a retraining center deep in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains. Justin Patrick, an openly rebellious twelve-year-old boy who has been dragged into the cult by his aunt, is sent along with them. Justin and the twins plan an escape in mid-winter through the Bitterroots. Justin’s father and uncle (who were both killed in an avalanche) trained him as a survivalist, and he assures the girls that the Bitterroots are not as dangerous as the Alaskan wilderness where he grew up. Their adventures in the mountains include searches for food, shelter, water, and warmth—all the while looking over their shoulders for the pursuing cult members. As they race for freedom, they are fully aware that capture means certain death for Justin and death or brutal enslavement for the twins.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

Macbeth: A post-apocalyptic version of the classic Shakespearean drama.
“ In a not so distant future, the worst thing imaginable has happened. The great cities of the world lay in ruin. The few souls who survive wander as nomads swearing allegiance to various warlords.

Armed Gunmen, True Facts, and Other Ridiculous Nonsense: A Compiled Compendium of Repetitive Redundancies
”Tautology-- A word or group of words that unintentionally repeats its meaning. When was the last time you entered your PIN NUMBER into the ATM MACHINE? Or longed for the PERFECT UTOPIA? Using unnecessary words can make written and spoken language a DISORGANIZED MESS, but it's not just STUPID IDIOTS who do so. We're all guilty, and this irreverent collection of tautologies catalogs our most common redundancies and wittily defines them. A FUNNY COMIC, for instance is ‘one who's employed’; a BLACK CROW is ‘the outcast in those large albino flocks’; and a SURVIVING WIDOW is ‘the last one standing in an all-widow game of Russian roulette.’"
